David Andrews, the New England Patriots’ starting center, is eyeing a comeback in 2025 after undergoing shoulder surgery. Andrews suffered a significant shoulder injury early in the 2024 season, which forced him to get season-ending surgery
The surgery was to repair a torn rotator cuff, an injury he initially sustained in the 2021 season. Andrews described the injury as “damaging the meat” of his rotator cuff, which will require an experimental surgery to repair the muscles naturally
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his recovery, Andrews is determined to return to the field in 2025. He expressed his desire to play with the Patriots’ 2024 first-round pick, quarterback Drake Maye, and to have his son see him play more
Andrews is currently under contract with the Patriots through the end of the 2025 season, and while there’s a chance the team might decide to move on, Andrews hopes to be back on the field, leading the team’s offensive line
